Now, this was her kind of detective work. She could see that Bishop was a good cop who didn’t play games. She liked that in law enforcement.

The man on his knees was in bad shape. His eyes were watering from the pain shooting up his arm.

“You can talk to them,” he muttered.

People were staring.

Only, they didn’t care. As soon as the men in there saw the badge, the herd began thinning out.

They weren’t in there for a liquid lunch. That was for damn sure.

“Who knew her?” Genesis asked, helping the other detective out.

He held nothing back.

“Sunny Day! She’s on the main stage in gold. The blonde. We don’t want trouble! I’m just doing my job!”

Yeah, well, so were they.

“We just want to find out who hurt Keri,” Genesis stated, watching the woman control the situation.

“I understand.”

Bishop let go of his thumb.

“Now, go about your business, or we get mean and shut this place down. We can see money exchanging hands from women doing more than shaking their asses. Do you want that?”

He shook his head vehemently.

“No.”

She didn’t think so.

As they walked away, Tori just laughed.

“Don’t make a scene,” she said. “At least this time it wasn’t me. My husband needs to worry more about the cops than me.”

Bishop shrugged.

“I don’t like anyone up in my grill unless I invite them. They have to be pirate-y, and a whole lot of Lucian-y for me to welcome someone coming at me.”

She got it.

Genesis even understood.

Bishop’s husband was tall, dark, and gorgeous. He looked very much like a pirate when wearing a patch over his one eye. Then again, she was probably the most beautiful woman she’d ever seen.

They were a matched set.

“Has anyone ever told you that you have the most perfect nose?” Genesis asked.

Bishop actually laughed.

“Uh, yeah, I get that a lot. Spoiler alert, it’s not my real nose,” she said, being honest as they navigated the high-class club. “Someone kicked my face in with a steel toed boot, and used a baseball bat on my skull. This is what a rich husband with the best doctors can get you.”

She whistled.

That was all kinds of horrifying.
